Those United Kingdom servicemen that died after August 16, 1917 are named on the memorial at Tyne Co, a site which marks rge furthest point reached by Commonwealth forces in Belgium until nearly the end of the war. The Tyne Cot Memorial now bears the names of almost 35,000 officers and men whose graves are not known. The memorial, dseigned by Sir Herbert Baker with sculpture by Joseph Armitage and FV Blundstone, was unveiled by Sir Gilbert Dyett in July 1927. The memorial forms the north eastern boundary of Tyne Cot Cemetry, which was established around a captured German blockhouse or pill box used as an advanced dressing station. The original battlefield cemetry of 343 graves was greatly enlarged after the Armistice when remains were brought in from battlefields of Passchendaele and Langemarck and from a few small burial grounds. It is now the largest Commonwealth war cemetry in the world in terms of burials
